Praying the Game Lyrics

Artist: Pete Townshend
Album: Another Scoop

Sitting in clouds of airPraying no on is thereHolding your head to the sky, in thereSwinging the smoke aroundCross like in Heaven boundHot line is cut up, because your bills all paid

Praying the game you playSin is from sin's to sayOne minute here again, out of your brainPlaying the praying gameStay away from themKeeping out on the reignPraying the game

And it's all the losers startAs your hurting all togetherAre you really getting threw

Would you be wrong to sing and danceLife goes on foreverUnderstanding isn't really new

I am a fool you claimWe are one all the sameThen you surrender, and the case is closed

Guess you ride innocenceI cause a sin offenseShort change my heart, for a fashionable home

Praying the game we playAll do it every dayNo point pretending nobody's foolStaying the same we sayBring on a change our wayTreating the Lord, like a teacher in school

And we check over each shoulderMaking sure that no one knowsAs we get down on our knees

And yet the witness insideLooking out threw our own eyesIs there really worthy on the trees

Praying the game we playSaying's from saves to sayOne minute here again, and out of your brainPlaying the praying game, staying away from painKeeping out of the rain, praying the game

Comments/Interpretations

by noitall on 10/4/2011 10:50pmI don't think these lyrics are totally correct. Whoever wrote them used the wrong "threw". It should be "through", no? And "is there really worthy on the trees"? What the heck does that mean? There are too many grammatical errors for me to believe these are the real lyrics.
